Marcel Proust in the Light of William James: In Search of a Lost Source

By Marilyn M. Sachs

Book Overview

Although William James was a significant presence in Paris in the early 20th century, the role he played in the creation of Marcel Proust's ground-breaking novel la recherche du temps perdu has been neglected by scholars. Much of what made Proust's novel so original stems from James's writings, which were available to Proust in translation.
